Showing same episodes everyday

Andym4 — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 09:58:21 GMT

Why does sky insist on showing the same episodes of the same show day in and day out. It's like they just load up the same recording everyday and play it on repeat.

Then what makes it worse is now it seems to be the same show playing on different channels at the same time.

Makes me wonder what we are paying for and if it's worth continuing. Not to mention the same adverts everytime telling us how good it is.

Also on catchup or series link they play the same long advert for the rspca constantly.

What tv programmes are you referring to?

Are the same episodes being broadcast at the same time slot (sometimes a station may show something one day in the afternoon, then repeat it in the morning)?

I know it's not a Sky channel, but to the OP's point of repeats, I did notice a strange bit of scheduling on ITV coming up. On Friday at 9 pm they have I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Coming Out & then it's being shown again the next night, same channel at 9.35 pm, so both prime-time slots. The second screening is 15 minutes shorter but it's an odd decision. Why didn't ITV keep an episode of The 1% Club for Saturday night instead of showing it over four consecutive nights? That would make more sense.

ITV scheduling is certainly odd. The 1% Club episodes are the remaining episodes from the series earlier this year that was on Saturdays nights that they haven't shown yet. What's more bizarre is a few weeks ago they were showing new/unaired Who Wants To Be A Millionaire from a prior pandemic-era series that they hadn't aired back when they were filmed a couple of years ago and have thus been showing these "New" episodes out of order so hasn't made sense when one of them when a contestant returned as the previous weeks episode was a previously unaired episode from another unrelated series.

I have also noticed SKY showing the same episodes of Wheeler Dealers over and over again at different times of the day. They're are so many episodes of WD that it makes this seem ridiculous.
